Mission Communications Enhances 123SCADA Platform Security with Multi-Factor Authentication

NORCROSS, Ga. - July 7, 2025 - PRLog -- Mission Communications, a pioneer in managed SCADA for water and wastewater facilities, has significantly strengthened the security of its 123SCADA platform by implementing multi-factor authentication (2FA) and other advanced protective measures.  These enhancements are designed to minimize security risks, safeguard sensitive customer data and improve user account protection.  They also ensure that the website remains resilient against unauthorized access and potential breaches.

The 123SCADA platform enables utility operators to securely monitor and control water and wastewater infrastructures such as pump stations, lift stations and wells remotely. With real-time visibility, alerts, and control capabilities, the platform supports efficient and reliable utility management from virtually anywhere.

Key security enhancements of the platform include:

• Multi-Factor Authentication (2FA): Administrators can enforce 2FA across all user accounts, providing an added layer of protection by verifying users and authenticating access devices.  This helps protect against data breaches, fraud and other cyber threats.
• Password Management Controls: Organizations can define mandatory password change intervals to reset passwords.  Typical cybersecurity best practices recommend changing passwords primarily after suspected compromise rather than on a fixed schedule.
• Stronger Password Policies:  Administrators can enforce minimum password lengths and complexity requirements to reduce vulnerability to attacks.
• Automated Account Lockouts: Accounts are automatically locked after multiple failed login attempts, helping to prevent unauthorized access through brute-force attacks.
• Failed Log-in Tracking and Alerts: Excessive failed login attempts are tracked and flagged.  Administrators are notified and can choose whether to manually unlock accounts or maintain automatic lock for a specific period.

Mission Communications specializes in wastewater systems, offering managed SCADA as a complete bundled solution that includes field hardware, software, cellular connectivity and support. Integrating Mission data into existing SCADA systems enhances visibility of assets such as tanks, pumps and wells, streamlining operations with real-time insights.

With these latest security updates, Mission Communications reinforces its commitment to protecting customer data and ensuring that its SCADA platform remains secure, reliable and accessible.
